Same deal in SS

I don't doubt at all that turbo deal is a hard combo to get down the track well, for sure consistently. It would also be a harder combo to win with. For sure if dealing with the possibility of breaking out. They just have the CIC to deal with.
Very well put Ed. I have friends in Comp and I like it when they run the turbo cars. While they are fast and can take you to the cleaner, most of the time they don't. Consistency, as you mentioned, is by far the best thing to have on your side, and I think Dan can do that very well. My money would be on him no matter what.

Note, that I am not too old fashioned to think that turbos should be outlawed. I do admire the accomplishments that the racers make in that area, and welcome the technology.
